Milan got its first ever female
prosecutor general on Thursday as Francesca Nanni was named to
the prestigious judicial position.
Liguria-born Nanni, 60, is currently PG in Cagliari.
She has several illustrious predecessors including Francesco
Saverio Borrelli, the man who formed the 'pool' of prosecutors
that helped bring down Italy's political establishment in the
Clean hands probes in the early 1990s.
Women are in a majority on judges' benches in Italy but three
out of four executive positions are held by men.
Of the country's prosecutors general, only 14% are women.
